Hi gang, I asked this on the ng, but haven't received a reply yet. I'd like to try and compile a new(er) kernel for my SuSE 8.0 system. I've looked at kernel.org, and see a 2.4.20 and a 2.5.50, and I've read in this newsletter about a 2.4.20 on suse's ftp site under /andrea. What should I get? I understand I can use different kernels if I wish, is this correct? Of the 2.4.20 kernels, the one on kernel.org's site is about 37MB download, the one on the suse ftp site is a .bz2 and is only 1.3MB...why is there such a huge difference? If I get a kernel from the .org site, will it work on my suse system? Where is the actual kernel for suse on the suse ftp site I should download if that is the better choice? I'm leaning toward the 2.4.20, but wouldn't mind trying the 2.5.x, but I just don't know 'what' to download, if that makes it any clearer about my question(s). Thanks for putting up with all of these inquiries, I know someone is probably groaning reading this, but hey...we all have to try *sometime* don't we? heh Thanks for any help, John
